0:00:27 > 0:00:30Sorry, your eggs are a little bit overdone.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Thanks.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- What, aren't you eating? - Not hungry.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Look, I thought you weren't going to worry about today.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Babe, Yolande put in a good word for you.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I mean, she even said that she might make the meeting.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53She's obviously busy or she'd have said she'd be there, wouldn't she?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55I just don't get why they'd want to haul me
0:00:55 > 0:00:58all the way up to Birmingham HQ.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Even if I don't get fired, I won't get paid yet.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I've had nothing in weeks.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Look...
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- It's nothing much, but... - No. Hey, no, I don't...
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I won it on the horses. Just take it now, man. Take it.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Oh, I nearly forgot.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I got Dot to wash and iron this.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26You keep your head today and you'll be back at work tomorrow.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Why aren't you dressed for school?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Don't even think about it. Not after last week.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39But I've got a spelling test. I ain't revised or nothing.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41T-O-U-G-H.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Can I have a pound, please?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- What for?- Cake stall at school.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Here you go.- Thanks.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I know something you don't.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56About Preston.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59What about him?
0:01:59 > 0:02:00He rang last night.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03He's going to be staying in Manchester a while longer.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04All right for some.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- How come you're not ready for school?- I ain't going, am I?
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- What?- No. He threw up. I don't want him spreading it around.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I have no clue how you get away with it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24So do you fancy doing something later? Bit of window shopping?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I can't. It's Steven's day off, too.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32We've got a...movie day.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Oh. You don't seem so keen.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- It's his idea of quality time. - And not yours?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I already tried to spice things up. That was a disaster.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Why?- Jane and Stacey almost walked in on us.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Oh, no.- I know.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Anyway, we should do something soon.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53A night out or something. It's my birthday next week.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Yeah.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Isn't Steven taking you out?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Doubt it. He's not mentioned anything. He's probably forgot.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Come on, a little bit of flirting with a hunky stranger
0:03:05 > 0:03:07might do you some good.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Lauren, that is the last thing on my mind.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13There's plenty of talent out there. Trust me, I know.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15What do you mean you know?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Some random bloke gave me his number last week.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- What?- At my dad's work. He left it with the receptionist.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I helped him fix a photocopier.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Oh, yeah, as you do. Well, I hope you binned it.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Yeah...eventually.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- What does that mean? - After I put the number in my phone.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- And what? Text him?- No.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- But...- Right. Well, Lauren... Come on, don't be stupid.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Where's Kathy?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52She's at the dentist. She'll be back soon.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Remind her about the community meeting at the Vic later.- OK.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Donna's invited half the market for her birthday so it should be
0:03:59 > 0:04:01a decent turn out.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Oh, I've got something for you.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06A celestite crystal.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Promotes calming energy and attracts good fortune.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14It's going to take more than a glorified bit of rock.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16On second thoughts, give it here.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- I could do with all the help I can get.- Tea, please.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I could do without her two-penneth an' all. I tell you.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Oh... I just wanted to say good luck. Yeah?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Thanks.- Make sure you don't say anything stupid
0:04:27 > 0:04:31cos it was your big mouth that got you into trouble with Beckett the last time.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- After you interfered, you mean? - You wouldn't be in this position if you knew how to keep it zipped.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37All right, Kim. I don't think she needs any more stress.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Fine.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Just ring when you're done, all right?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Suck up whatever they throw at you and just admit you made a mistake.
0:04:47 > 0:04:53- That crystal will give positive energy. You'll be fine.- Yeah.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Oh. See you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07So did Preston really phone?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11You must be missing him.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I've seen this new game I want. Commando Attack: Code Red.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Don't push it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It'd keep me quiet, having a new game to play.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22How long are you planning to keep this up for?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23As long as I want.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Do you know blackmail's a crime? - So is what you did with Preston.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28No.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- No, it isn't. - Tell everyone then. I dare you.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- The game?- Just get out of my sight!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38You can't talk to me like that.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Not if you want me to keep my mouth shut.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49DOOR SLAMS
0:05:58 > 0:06:00All good?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Few lousy leg exercises, anyone'd think I'd run a marathon.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Listen, we're going to watch a movie later.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Why don't you join us?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Wouldn't you rather it was just you and Lauren?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Well, we'll have plenty of time together for her birthday next week.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Speaking of which, look what I got her.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20All her favourite treats from New Zealand.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Got 'em online.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24That's a lovely idea!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Don't let Ian near them though, will you?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Thought you were going to be back later.- Huh?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31What is that?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32SHE GASPS
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Chit Chats!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38What did you...? Steven!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41You weren't meant to see 'em till next week.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Oh...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Sorry.- It's all right. Hey, buddy.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Tina, you can't serve this. It's burnt.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Sorry...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Sorry, sorry... - Leave it, leave it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Why don't you take a break? Come on. You've been rushed off your feet.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I just wish Shirley was around to help me.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Leave it, come on. Look, you are doing the right thing.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Sylvie will be much better off in a home.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Have they said how long it might be?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm waiting for social services to get back to me.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21They have to assess her first.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- You know what, I think I - will- take that break, Kath. I'll go and check on her.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh! Here he is, the birthday boy to be.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Cup of tea to go, please.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Right, listen, I want you to come in tomorrow for a nice free meal.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Line that stomach.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- No-one's really up for drinking on a week night, Mum.- What?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You're kidding me. What about Jay?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43He said something about working late tomorrow.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- And Johnny?- Busy revising.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48No. Hang on, I'm not having that.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I shall be having words with those two.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Mum, honestly, leave it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Ben, you are turning 21.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57This is a major milestone in your life.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59No, it's just another number. I don't want a fuss.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I wasn't going to tell you just yet but I'm taking you to the South Bank
0:08:03 > 0:08:04on Saturday.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I thought we'd do the London Eye and then grab a bite to eat.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Which part of "no fuss" don't you understand?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Thank you.- Thanks.- Cheers.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Cor, is it me or is there like a lingering smell of dog pony?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Stop it, you're being paranoid now.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I tell you something now. I will never eat Irish stew again.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'm telling you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Moose. Er...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35We weren't expecting you.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Lee didn't tell you I was coming?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38No.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39I got a few days' leave.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42He asked me to grab some of his stuff on the way to Dover.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44He just expects me to drop everything that I'm doing, does he?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47It's all right, it's all right. We ain't busy, so...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Yeah, but he could've told me.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Sorry, Mick.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Ain't your fault.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00COMPUTER GAME BLARES
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I made you lunch.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Sorry I snapped. I shouldn't have.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Does it mean I can have the game? - I'm not made of money.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Look...
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I appreciate you keeping my secret. I do.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- But we have to find some other way to work this out.- Why?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Cos Louise is already getting suspicious.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28What if the school starts asking questions, too?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30That won't be good for either of us.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I could still bend a few rules.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38The odd late bedtime,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41friends round more often. Things not so obvious.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I was even going to suggest sending your mum some Mother's Day flowers
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- from you.- That'd be cool.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49All I ask is, cut me a bit of slack.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Please?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Thank you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Is it safe, or do I need my body armour?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Typical Lee, eh? Memory like a sieve.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Couldn't be bothered, more like.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Yeah, well, I'll have strong words with him when I get to Dover.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Look, I won't hang about.- No...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Put the kettle on while you're here, eh?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25I'll get the rest of his stuff.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I have to say, it's great to see you doing so well for yourself.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I give these upstarts a run for their money.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I'm sure you do.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Shall we start?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Ms Fox. You were called here today...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Let's dispense with the formalities. Denise knows why she's here.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54We thought we would give you a chance to explain yourself,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56given your comments to the Walford Gazette.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Ah...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02OK, well, what I said, it...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06It was just the local rag.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09It's not even that bad.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19Quote, "People are getting poorer and what do head office do?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22"They hike up their prices..."
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Yeah, well, it probably doesn't sound too good...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27"..lining their pockets whilst ordinary hardworking people
0:11:27 > 0:11:29"are queuing for food banks..."
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Not to mention a common assault charge.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Hardly the kind of image we want our brand...- Let her speak.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39OK. What I said...
0:11:41 > 0:11:42..it was a mistake.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46A massive error of judgment.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50And it won't happen again.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53I can only apologise.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Profusely...
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- ..unreservedly. - Apology accepted.- Right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05So...do I get to keep my job?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Yes.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10You'll be given a formal warning.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Oh.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well, thank you.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Is that it then?
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Not quite.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26We think it would benefit the company if you went on
0:12:26 > 0:12:29a training course before returning to work.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Sorry? I don't quite follow.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Help you to brush up your people skills.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Back to basics in terms of training.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Give you a better understanding of behaviour types.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Passive, assertive...
0:12:41 > 0:12:43aggressive.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46That way we can avoid any future slip-ups.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53So remind me again why we're watching some ancient romcom.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Cos you were outvoted. So button it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Give it a chance. You haven't even seen it.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00No, but I'll tell you exactly what's going to happen.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03She is going to bed the bad boy and then realise it was all...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- BABY CRIES - ..a big mistake.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Oh... I'll go.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Why women in films do that anyway is beyond me.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Not just films. Admittedly he was no Daniel Cleaver.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22You talking about Grant?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Can I ask you a question?
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Do you regret it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Yeah. I regret it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33So why do it?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39He made me feel alive at the time, I guess.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Thrill of the chase, maybe.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46We're missing this.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- ANGRY:- I don't need to go on some...
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- CALMER:- ..some anger management course. Because let's face it,
0:13:57 > 0:13:58that's what this actually is.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02It's a people skills course, Denise.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I've said I'm sorry. I mean, isn't that enough?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Your comments ruffled a lot of feathers, Denise.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You know, I thought you'd have my back.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It would have been a lot worse if I hadn't have stepped in.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15You'll get a shiny new certificate for your wall.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Like I say, I've got other commitments.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20There's my GCSE course for a start, and...
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Is there something funny about that?
0:14:22 > 0:14:26What is it with you? You and your pompous demeanour?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You must be overcompensating for something.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- I beg your pardon? - I don't think she meant that.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Oh, yes, I did. Every word.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Well, why drag me out here?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Stringing things out for so long when I'm barely even getting by?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Denise, it's not about... - No! No job is worth this.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Minute Mart ain't the centre of the universe, you know.- Last warning.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, you can stick it where the sun don't shine.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Cos I quit!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Denise, don't be stupid!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03You see, you? You should learn when to keep your mouth shut.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Maybe it is you who needs to go on this course.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17That was Lee's great-grandad's.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Apparently it was passed down from the war.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30So how is he doing?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32He's enjoying his work from what I hear.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Getting on with things, yeah.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I ain't really seen that much of him, to be honest.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42All I know is that he's down there with...Beanbag?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44So they must be going out quite a lot.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I wouldn't let it bother you.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Is he seeing someone else?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57That's a yes then.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Whit, why even go there?- Bet he didn't waste much time, did he?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Look, don't do it to yourself. You're better than that, Whit.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11No, I'm OK. I'm actually OK.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I think I just needed to hear it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Cos in a weird kind of way, it helps.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I know he's my best mate but I don't know what he was doing,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25ever letting you go.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33You sure you're OK?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Yeah. I'm fine. Honestly.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42If you need anything...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47..I've always got time for you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Thanks.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Take care, Moose.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Says they're guaranteed to get there by Mother's Day.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Cheers.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Look who made a miraculous recovery. - Oh, don't wind him up.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08What's for tea?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I'll grab some pizza on the way back from the Vic.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Martin texted.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17There's some community meeting on.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Don't mind if I go, do you? - Take your time.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Can we have fried chicken instead?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Oh, I fancy pizza.- I'll grab both. - Why do you always give in to him?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Won't be long.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47SNORING
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Steven, can you call my phone, please?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Can you call my phone? Steven, please.- All right, all right!
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Get up a minute.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29It's just going straight to voicemail.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Think you had it upstairs earlier on.- Yes, well, I've had it since then, haven't I?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35All right, just calm down.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You don't get it, do you? My whole life is on that phone.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- What's up? - She thinks she's lost her phone.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Oh, no.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I must've dropped it somewhere.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Exercises must've wiped me out. Have I missed the film?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Ben.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00This came. I was going to drop it round later.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So what are you up to for your birthday?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I don't know, but I wish people would get off my case.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Sorry.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- Has anyone seen a phone, by any chance?- No, sorry.- No, I haven't.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Donna?- No. Sorry.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Make the most of it, Ben.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Someday you'll wish you were 21 again.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I didn't think you'd bother with the meeting if I'm honest with you.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- I needed to get out the house for a bit.- Everything OK?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Yeah, yeah. Nothing a few drinks won't fix.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Oh, yeah, no worries, mate.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Listen, any idea when Preston's back?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- I could just really do with the help.- No, I haven't heard.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48SHE LAUGHS
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- There you go. Can I get you anything else? - Did I leave my phone here earlier?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Sorry. I ain't seen it.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Are you sure you had it with you?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yes, positive. Can we check upstairs?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Um, I've got to wait for Mick to come back from the barrel... Wait!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Oh, yeah, just go on up.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It's bad luck to read cards before the big day.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Still, what's so big about staying in, eh?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It's from Pam and Les.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I can't believe they remembered.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29They sent me 50 quid.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Bull's-eye? Nice one.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Thanks, Kath. Cheers.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40It was going to be Paul's 21st in February as well.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Sorry, mate. I didn't know.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49We talked about going...
0:20:51 > 0:20:52..going to New York.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58And there's me banging on about us getting legless, eh.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Look, if you prefer a quiet one, I won't mention it again.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Then I remembered something else Pam said to me once.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16That I shouldn't always feel like Paul's looking over my shoulder.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23She was right.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I can't keep living in the past.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34So what are you saying then?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Well...
0:21:37 > 0:21:39..be rude not to spend it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Good man, get your laughing gear round that. Half the price,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47double the buzz. Happy birthday, Donna.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Oh, cheers Mick. Ready?- Yep.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Three, two, one... Someone's thirsty.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Denise should be back by now. Have you heard anything?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Either her phone has died or she's on the tube.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Well, maybe I should get things started.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Are you joining us, Kush?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09After the meeting, yeah. Actually you might be right.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- These lot are going to be wasted otherwise.- Yeah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Listen up, everyone. Denise isn't back yet so I'll kick things off.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Let's start with the bins.- Oh... - I know, I know.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I phoned the council and they've blamed the recent mix-up
0:22:22 > 0:22:24on a glitch on the part of Servwaste.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26They promised the bins will be emptied Friday.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Mick, are you sure this stuff's stronger?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It don't have the same kick.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Uh... No, it's double smooth, that gear.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- It's a bottle of Russian. - Is anyone even listening?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Yeah, we are. What next?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Kim!- Huh?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43This is a waste of time. I'm off.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Patrick... Patrick, wait. - What's the point?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48You're not going to get any sense out of them today, are you?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Come on, Kush. This one's got your name on it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Nah, Denise went to a lot of effort sorting this meeting, so... - Well, she ain't here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- We could rearrange it. Couldn't we, Mum, really?- Yes!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Yeah. Come on then...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Was your phone insured?- Yeah.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07OK. It's not the end of the world then, is it?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Listen, I've got to get back downstairs because Mick needs me.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- He's on his own, bless him. - What's that?- Oh. Moose.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Came round for the rest of Lee's stuff earlier.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Oh. And he just happened to leave his number on your arm?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20No, not like that.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Well. You're one to talk, ain't you? Giving ME advice this morning.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Well, it's hardly the same. And anyway, I'm single.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Well, actually, Whitney, technically you're still married.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35What are you arguing with me?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Why are you in such a bad mood?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh, you've lost your phone. Yeah. Big deal.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Yeah, well, it ain't just that, is it?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42It's not just the phone.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46No.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49You're annoyed cos you lost that guy's number. Hm?
0:23:51 > 0:23:52- All right, yeah!- Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Yeah, I am. Cos I was going to text him this afternoon.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Why?! What are you playing at, Lauren?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02You told me to fight for my marriage, remember?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04At least I tried.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Come on, you've got to do the same with Steven. Right?
0:24:08 > 0:24:14For all you know this guy, whoever he is, might be a proper weirdo. OK?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Why're you chasing a guy you don't know nothing about?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Yeah. Well, it's too late now anyway, ain't it?
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Yeah. It is.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24So, whose round's next?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I think you've got one, Michelle. - Right.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Oh, no, I've left my card at home.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Oh, yeah!- I have!
0:24:32 > 0:24:35It's all right, I'll get you another one seeing as it's your birthday.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Cheers, Kush. Same again, just nipping to the loo.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39All right.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Are you sure you're all right?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Yeah. Why keep asking?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46The rate you're putting them away, I'll be carrying you home.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48You must be climbing the walls in that house.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Obviously you're used to teaching and that.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I've been invited to an interview.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- For a teaching job? - Teaching assistant.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- There's not much else about. - Wrong time of year, ain't it?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- TEXT MESSAGE ALERT - There'll be more teaching jobs in September.- Yeah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Oh...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I'd better head back.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Yeah? I'll come with you. Stacey's probably got the dinner on.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10See you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Oh! About time.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I've been calling you all afternoon.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Yeah, well, my phone died.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Well?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Don't keep us in suspense. Come on. - What happened to the meeting?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28It was a non-starter. Donna's party hijacked it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Listen, just tell us how it went.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I quit!
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- She's winding us up.- Yeah, and a fat lot of good this thing did.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41I mean, how are we supposed to get anywhere if this is your attitude?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Forget about the meeting. Your job?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Yeah, well, there are other jobs in the world, you know.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I'll tell you what, we're going to meet again Friday.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I'll see if the community centre's free.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53That way it can't turn into a drinking session.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I was out of order earlier.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Sorry.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's your birthday, Ben. Spend it how you like.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21It's just hard sometimes, Mum.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Not having Paul around.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30You've got your whole life ahead of you, love.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31He'd want you to enjoy it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36And...
0:26:37 > 0:26:42..about the weekend. I'd love to go to the South Bank.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45On one condition though. We do it on Mother's Day instead.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Make it a double celebration.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Thank you.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04But why on earth would you...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Because that Beckett fella. He gets up my nose, don't he?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- But Yolande?- She did all she could. Oh, here we go.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13So you said that you quit.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Does that mean they said you could come back?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16They wanted to make a mockery out of me.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19They wanted to put me on some course.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21So all you had to do was keep your mouth shut?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Exactly what I said.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You need that job, Denise.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Do you think because I am poor,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34obscure, plain and little,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37that I am soulless and heartless?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40You think wrong.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Did she just quote Shakespeare? - It's Jane Eyre.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Well, Jane Eyre ain't going to help you pay no bills.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49What will you do for money?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- I have no idea.- No idea.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54No idea.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58I'll tell you what.
0:27:58 > 0:28:04This is what I think to spending the rest of my life in that place.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Good riddance.
